A Blog about the life of a crafts person who designs and creates beautiful items, including greetings cards, decorated gift bags and scented candles. If that's not enough to keep me occupied, I also arrange craft fairs in Surrey under the name of A Fair to Remember to showcase the work of the many talented makers there are in my part of the world.

SNOW PLACE LIKE HOME

Hello everyone

It's chilly, it's white and Jazz wants to keep going out into it. Daisy? A very sensible lady - 'one doesn't want to get one's paws cold and wet, does one?' Here is a pic of Jazz who had already been outside several times, making paw prints everywhere so that when he ventured out again he could just tread in them. However, this one shows him thinking ' well, I have been left, down to the end, now how about I turn right this time'.

One small step for a man and a giant leap for a tabby cat

It's been a very cold week and not surprising that it ended with snow. However, I am sure you, like me are very thankful it wasn't as much as this time last year. Roll on spring - please. Pretty though the snow looks, walking on it frightens the life out of me. I can drive on (and in) snow without any problems, but when my feet come into contact with snow they turn to slippery, sliding things that seem to deliberately make me fall over.

Last Friday was my first guest blog post day and a great post about Party Plan was delivered by Caroline Nash of Caroleecrafts. Thank you Caroline. I know the post had lots of visitors and a big thank you to those who commented - as always your feedback is much appreciated.

A few of the Handmade Monday gang have said they would like to take part in the guest posting adventure, and I am hoping they and others will do so. Come on you bloggers, your world awaits your guest post.

I celebrated my 21st birthday on Friday too and had a great day. Okay, okay, I have visited 21 many, many times but it was a great year (I got married then too) and that seems a really good reason to stick with it. Not a lot of crafting done on that day or over the weekend, but have a card-topper to add to my collection:

A decoupaged train that goes with my growing collection of male card toppers.

Falling behind a little with my new ranges - seem to have got stuck into one, while leaving the others a little behind. I need to get a move on as I have my first event on 10 March and want to ensure I have all of my new ranges ready (or at least examples from each one) and my website up and running by then.

A mini-post today (mini compared with my normal Sunday/Monday posts). Off to do some snow-clearing, well to supervise actually. Have a great week, I will be back on Wednesday, but don't forget to visit the great bloggers taking part in Handmade Monday.

Lovely pic of Jazz. This is the time when their fur coats become useful. lol. I have looked and looked at your card and it really looks like the train is coming out of the tunnel, its a pretty good pic.

Belated birthday wishes for Friday, I hope you had a good week end.I enjoyed your 'guest post :o)

I need to get on with some of my bit's too, I need to be ready for my first Fair, I don't want to be thinking it's a long way off then it suddenly jumps up and bites me on the bum. I'm sewing today, I've been out and done the bird food and water now I'm indoors and staying close to the heater.Thank you for visiting and your kind words on my blog.

Love the snow since we never see it, altho I'm sure it's unpleasant to live in. Love the train too. I guess it would be good to stay 21, but I chose 29 since my Dad's theory is that Jack Benny was always 39 and he was at least 10 years younger than Jack Benny, so he must be 29 forever. I just kept that tradition. Strange that I am my Dad's age. Happy 21st birthday, you young thing you!
